One of them was treated with a "pin tightening" solution. I has nearly completely delaminated now. We regularly pickup pieces off the floor. This "tightener" completely destroyed the pin block, please don't use it. If you must use something, my suggestion is CA glue as it doesn't alter the chemistry of the wood. Andrew Remillard
